Does it live up to its reputation? Missed it when I was in the area. It’s a great beer and definitely worth getting if you can. I got half a case to take home with me. I do have to say the Treehouse Julius and some of their other beers are better but they are even harder to get your hands on Quote
Ogre Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 Uhmmm, @bobs0108, what gives with the glass? Doesn’t the top of the can beg you for a different approach?? Quote

Pretty sure that’s the right glass for a heady topper. Definitely doesn’t need a flute, shaker pint, mug, or stout glass. Unless I missed something.

I’ll have to see if I can get my hands on a few sometimes. Quote

I prefer a glass and that is the correct glass for that type of beer. Quote

As bad as it may sound, I’ve been drinking Naturdays quite a bit lately. Usually if im drinking an alcoholic lemonade drink it’s going to be with vodka, but these are delicious. I’ve got a few grapefruit sculpins left but I’ll save those for another day. Quote

Wyldnwoody44 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Posted June 18, 2019 I have found some unique stuff over this way, got blasted on Rhubarb wine in the sauna yesterday and today had some local Estonian microbrews Quote

Most of what I have been told by my brewing pals is that Alchemist uses hop oil in their production and pouring the beer out into a glass will allow people to see evidence of that as opposed to keeping it in the can. I've not cared enough to test this theory. Quote

We hit three breweries Vontrap brewing, Harpoon, and The Alchemist. The Alchemist is a great brewery that makes Heady Topper and Focal Banger. I'm heading to Buffalo to visit family for the week, so of course I had to open my untappd app to research some good beer venues. Apparently the Wegmans Pub on Transit has Heady Topper and Focal Banger? If true, that might be my first stop...even before seeing my family! Quote

BrewDog’s USA headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio. Elvis Juice is a staple at local bars. I almost went to the brewery today actually, but temperatures hit 93 Fahrenheit. Stayed closer to home to dodge the heat. Quote
steveoath Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 I'm growing very partial to the abundance of sour/citrus ales that are available now. Fortunate in Scotland that we have loads of great independent brewers trying new things. 1 Quote
bobs0108 Posted June 29, 2019 Report Posted June 29, 2019 I just went to Tampa two days ago. Went to Cigar City Brewing which was good they had Honapus on tap also went to Hidden Spring which I thought was better. They did some crazy ones like Brawndo which was brewed with Gatorade Quote

I can confirm that these are both indeed available at the Wegmans Pub on Transit. I've had Heady Topper before, but the Focal Banger is right there with it. Dank hop explosion.

They are both really good beers and worth a try if you can get your hands on them at a reasonable price. 1 Quote
